This is the kind of nonfiction book I love diving into. I love learning a about scientific thoughts , the cosmos, creation theory, and the like, and this book delivers each of those topics in a humorous way while still leaving a lingering chuckle behind.

Since this is nonfiction, there's no story for me to truly focus on beyond my own thoughts surrounding such topics as creation myths. My personal background is in literature with a focus on epic poetry, so my knowledge of myths and legends is fairly extensive. However, I loved his perspective on how and why most (if not all) of them are crap and why they don't make a great deal of sense, especially when thinking in scientific terms as well.

I'm a bit bummed aliens aren't coming, but I suppose that, too, makes a great deal of sense when put into a book such as this. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not swayed one way or the other in all honesty. He simply makes a decent argument for what he thinks or feels is the most logical outcome to him. I read a few other reviews that Ferrie is trying to convince the reader or argue in support of certain points in this book. But, I feel when I pick up a book like this, I am in for a humorous ride for what this person thinks and offers options of "what if" or the like so we start to think more for ourselves. we do not have to believe or disbelieve anything, and since he does not do any citing of sources, i do not feel as though he is writing a persuasive book but rather just informative and humorous.

I just found this book fun and informative. It wasn't too long winded and didn't seem to take itself too seriously. I think I may go out and find more from this writer to see what other chuckles I can get.
